Upgrade robot 9.41 to 23.4.0 or 23.4.4 on AIX 7.3 fail

  • 1.  Upgrade robot 9.41 to 23.4.0 or 23.4.4 on AIX 7.3 fail

    Hello everyone.
    I have 30 servers running AIX 7.3 with a 9.41 robot, and I have UIM 23.4.4, so I need to update the robots, but I've been having trouble doing so. I tried updating a 9.41 robot running AIX 7.3 to 23.4.0, and it failed. Has anyone done this who can point me to a clean procedure that won't damage the robot and require a reinstall?

    On general for upgrade of robot, I applied this procedure that working for me
     
    1) Deploy the niminit_AIX package
    2) Deploy the robot_update v23.4.4 package
     
    But if the robot has oracle probe:
    1) Verify that the Oracle and CDM metrics are functioning correctly.
     
    2) Back up both the cdm and oracle probes.
    3) Change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH environment variables to combine the robot and oracle data.
     
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH = .:/oracle/app/oracle/product/19.3/dbhome_1/lib:robot/lib:/UIM/nimsoft/robot/lib
    PATH = /usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/home/oracle/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:.:/oracle/app/oracle/product/19.3/dbhome_1/bin:/oracle/app/oracle/product/19.3/dbhome_1/lib:/usr/ccs/bin:/oracle/app/oracle/product/19.3/dbhome_1/OPatch
     
    4) Deploy the niminit_AIX package.
    5) Deploy the robot_update v23.4.4 package
    6) Delete the variable LIBPATH = .:robot/lib:/UIM/nimsoft/robot/lib
    Note: A Profile alert "cannot connect to database: (Create OCI environment failed with rc = -1)" will be generated; once you delete the variable, the alert will disappear.
    7) Validate data and monitor
